Trial summary

The use of oral targeted therapies draws new medical management but also new practices for the patients (compliance), their family and the healthcare professionals [1,2]. These therapies have sometimes heavy toxicity: side effects to identify, to treat, and for the patient to learn to manage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: From the Model to the Adaptation of a Therapeutic Education Program in Cancer Research: the Case of Renal Cancer Patients Treated by Oral Treatments, Multidisciplinary Approach

The use of oral targeted therapies draws new medical management but also new practices for the patients (compliance), their family and the healthcare professionals [1,2]. These therapies have sometimes heavy toxicity: side effects to identify, to treat, and for the patient to learn to manage. This situation underlines the importance of a therapeutic education to accompany this "learning" [3]. Nevertheless, in France, the therapeutic educational programs, built according to the "standards" of the therapeutic education (TE), are still very rare in cancer research [4]. In May 2012, a therapeutic educational program for these patients has been developed in the oncology department of the Teaching Hospital of Bordeaux through a multidisciplinary team. This program, dedicated to metastatic renal cancer patients treated by oral targeted therapies, becomes here an object of research: MODAP (action-research).

Read the detailed description

At the diagnosis, 25 to 30 % of renal cancer patients present a metastatic disease. The prognosis remains dark in spite of the advent of the targeted therapies from 2007. Actually, the use of oral targeted therapies, most of the time carried out on an outpatient basis (sunitinib in particular), draws new medical management but also new practices for the patients (compliance), their family and the healthcare professionals [1,2].

These therapies have sometimes heavy toxicity: side effects to identify, to treat, and for the patient to learn to manage. This situation underlines the importance of a therapeutic education to accompany this "learning" [3]. Nevertheless, the therapeutic educational programs, built according to the "standards" of the therapeutic education (TE), are still very rare in cancer research [4]: multiplicity of the pathology (a cancer, cancers), multiplicity of the patients' experiences, the difficulty of implementation? In May 2012, in front of the experience told by the patients and the professionals in the context of metastatic renal cancer, the members of the oncology department of the Teaching Hospital of Bordeaux, the therapeutic educational Federation, the Coordination Cancer Centre (3C), an anthropologist, an expert patient and a patient's association developed a therapeutic educational program for these patients [current approval].

This program, built on the model of the TE in France, becomes here an object of research: MODAP (action-research).

An observational study of Health Services Research, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Health quality of life with QLQC30 questionnaire (time frame: Three years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02896790, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jul 2017.
